When is the vote on the new proposed replacement rule for transfers out?

Tony Fair

He is from Montgomery, AL. Coming home

NCAA passes one-time transfer exception for all sports, reports say

According to 247 Sports Mims was on campus this weekend

Can he recruit?

Where do these two fit in the equation:


3* OT Caleb Johnson. He’s a 6-7, 300lb OT that’s almost a 4*. He’ll probably get there. Kind of a late riser type. Says Auburn is his leader

3* QB Will Crowder - coaches have visited his school several times in January and KN thinks and offer is coming. I’d expect him to commit if it does

From Keith

What kind of recruiter is new Auburn offensive line coach Jack Bicknell Jr? And … what kind of coach?

To get some insight into Bicknell, who was hired Monday night by the Tigers, we checked in with David Johnson of OM Spirt, the Ole Miss site for 247Sports. Not only did Bicknell spend the previous three seasons at Ole Miss, but he also coached Johnson’s son, Rebels offensive lineman Eli Johnson.

AUC: How would you describe Bicknell as a recruiter?

JOHNSON: He’s a good recruiter — a very good recruiter. He was able to forge some really solid relationships with recruits and their families and that paid off.

AUC: Who are some of the better players he helped land for Ole Miss?

JOHNSON: Well, he was in on everybody on the offensive line, but we just list who a recruit’s primary recruiter was based on geography. But he was very active. Every offensive lineman, he recruited. His areas were Arkansas and northern Louisiana. He recruited Nick Broeker (in 2019), who was a freshman All-American at left tackle for 247Sports.

AUC: How did he fare overall in his region; Arkansas doesn’t have a ton of recruits and getting solid prospects from Louisiana never is easy.

JOHNSON: No doubt about, but he was involved in the recruiting of receiver Jadon Jackson (from Arkansas) and also was involved in the recruitment of (offensive tackle) Darius Thomas (of Arkansas). He went over to Arkansas and helped pull two of that state’s top players to Ole Miss. I would expect Auburn to have him continuing to recruit in northern Louisiana because he has so many relationships there from his days as head coach at Louisiana Tech.

AUC: Your son played for Bicknell the last three seasons. What does he think of him?

JOHNSON: He loved him — absolutely loved him. He thinks he’s a very good coach. A solid, technical offensive line coach. He’s very disciplined with his players. Very tough, but very fair.

From a source in the coaching industry …

-“He’s a diligent recruiter. He just doesn’t really seek credit. He’s a legit (recruiter). He’s very thorough at what he does.”

And finally … an interesting note …

How did Bicknell land at Ole Miss? He can thank Giants quarterback Eli Manning.

Bicknell and Manning were both with the Giants when they won the Super Bowl on Feb. 5, 2012. Per AuburnTigers.com, “During the 2011 season, the Giants' line anchored an offense that finished fifth in the NFL in passing while only allowing 28 sacks.”

Manning, an Ole Miss alum, was so impressed with Bicknell he put in a call to Luke and recommended him for the job.
